Regulatory Red Tape Reduction

Ministers with regulatory oversight were asked by the President of the Treasury Board on July 9, 2025, to identify active contributions towards regulatory red tape reduction through a 60-day review exercise. In response to this request, a review of regulatory stock across the Public Safety Portfolio was launched to identify any processes or rules which were unnecessary, duplicative, overly burdensome or otherwise ineffective to administration and seen as a barrier to investment and growth.

This report identifies accomplishments, actions underway and forward-looking initiatives across the Portfolio, excluding the CBSA, to reduce red tape while maintaining strong public safety outcomes. Given the breath of regulations administered by the CBSA, a stand-alone progress report for the CBSA was developed.
